Barrow Fields three(?) children and a (man)baby

Backdated to July 5. Vaguedy-vague is vague & hope the PP is okay for timing's sake, Thalia.

After picking up/finding (presumably) his daughter, Verx set back off for Rusalka, three wayward children (hopefully) in tow. He would look for Aure, too, but after he dropped these rugrats off at the sound; that was his main focus. He was reluctant to take them back, but where else would he go? Besides, Rosalyn would have a cow if he didn't get Reyes back in a timely manner.

The soldier tried to make the trip at least a little enjoyable, throwing in fun and games along the way. Whether they would play, too, was up to them; Dragomir had been hella angry with him and Verx didn't blame his son in the least. He'd really fucked this up. Now it was on him to make it right.

They stopped for a moment upon a rise, where the sea came suddenly and marvelously into view. He turned his gaze toward his pups (Reyes was used to this sight), grinning, his tail aloft. That's the ocean, he explained, eyes gleaming with delight. This is where we're meant to be. We're close.

Would they like the sea or long for the mountains? He supposed both outcomes were possible. After all, he'd not stopped longing for the sturdy boughs of Trigeda, even though he'd grown to love Dragoncrest Cliffs. They might be split between the two places forever.
